Genesis 3:16

Monday, April 13th, 2009

“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”

Um, can I get a hell no?!  If there was ever a case for the empowerment of women I’m pretty sure this is it!  So what if Eve ate the fruit?  She ate it and knew the truth!  Would God rather have her live a life of nothing but fantasy and wonderment?  I read this verse when I was very young and was questioning the concept of religion.  It was on this day that I all but made my mind that God would not give me more hardships than a man and would certainly not want anyone to rule OVER me.

I am so glad that Aaron hasn’t read this verse in the Bible because then we would really be in trouble.  He went to 8 years of Bible school but I’m pretty sure they skipped or altered this chapter!  I don’t regret Eve eating that apple and I think that her dumb ass husband shouldn’t have eaten the apple.  He did right by listening to her but that just goes to show that most men don’t think for themselves and in the end we always end up screwing them in some way!!

Don’t forget that it was ONLY AFTER Eve at the apple that they were introduced to the Devil and all the fun things in life!  Come on now, they didn’t have sex until after they ate the freaking apple!!

Can I get a HELL YES AND AMEN?!!!

Internet Textbook Scams

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I am really sick and tired of scams on the Internet.  I recently decided to try and sell my textbooks using buy back websites.  If it weren’t for Aaron asking me to double check to make sure that they were legit I probably would have been successfully scammed.  I got a great quote from a company and I was getting ready to package my book up today and decided to do a little research first.  As it turns out most of these buy back companies are scammers.  They apparently say that your package got lost in the mail and they never received it.  Or that when they opened the box the book was more damaged than they originally thought. How lame is that?  I am now going to sell my book through a more controllable medium like KSL or e-bay.  I am really glad I looked into some of these companies I was going to “get money from”.  My first tip-off should have been when Aaron asked me if I got the money first or if they had to get the book before they would give me my money.  Well duh!  I am so innocent it made sense to me that they would have to look at my book to determine how much money I would actually be getting. Dumb dumb dumb and I almost fell for it!  I thought I found a great website that reports Internet scams but then I found a website saying that the report website was also a scam!!!  How am I supposed to keep anything straight?  I almost don’t want to use the Internet for anything, except for my wonderful website of course!  You won’t find any scams here!  Not even a lie!  This is straight up and real stuff on shaylaknielson.com!

I’m pretty mad about this whole thing and if you know anyone who needs a few textbooks send them my way cuz I really need extra money and I really want these stupid books out of my house!

My First Blog Post

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

If you haven’t realized it yet this website is dedicated entirely to me!  My boyfriend decided that to show me he loved me he would buy me my very own domain name.  It’s a little dorky but I’m lovin it so far.  This is the very very first time I have ever “blogged”.  I am new to this whole thing and it is still a little weird to me to put all of my thoughts on the Internet for everyone in the world to read.  That’s kinda cool I guess.  I am thinking that this will be a very therapeutic hobby and I am excited to get started.  If you haven’t checked it out already I suggest to check out my “about” page because that is where I started.

I am having a hard time deciding where I should start this whole process.  I guess by typing up this introductory blog I am do alright so far.  I’m not computer illiterate but I am not familiar with producing my own site and such so please be patient with me for a while.  I think I am going to end this post soon because I can feel myself start to ramble but before I do…

Thank you Aaron for buying me my very own domain name, and hosting my website, and getting me started on this whole thing, and being patient while I have you help me figure it out.

(He told me that I had to give him credit for the above, so I did)
